KEY STRENGTHS
Top-end yields! Aggressive hybrid with good Goss’s and greensnap tolerance. Excellent drydown will move this to the front of your harvest order.

WEAKNESSES
Physoderma and late season health.

POSITIONING
This is your racehorse product to go for big yields. As a bonus, it will handle most diseases pretty well other than physoderma. The key is to get your N:K ratio right. You need N for high yield, but don’t overdo the N or the planting population. Harvest timely and you’ll love the performance of this hybrid.

AGRONOMIC & DISEASE RATINGS

The higher the number, the better the performance or rating.

I first tried Hefty because of the price point. Then I put four hybrids in my competition plot with four other brands of corn. Hefty took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in my plot. That’s when I knew I was planting the real deal!

We have had a really good run with Hefty Corn hybrids on our farm over the last several years. In fact, they have been our top-yielding hybrids for a number of years now.

I know that when I give my business to Hefty Seed Company, I can count on great yields from their products and outstanding service from their knowledgeable agronomists.

I put my Hefty corn up to my favorite Pioneer and Dekalb, and wow does it perform! I’ll keep planting Hefty!

Luke, Iowa

Out of everything I planted, Hefty has always been the first corn out of the ground over the last three years.

Devon, Southeast Nebraska

The emergence and yields I have gotten from my Hefty Brand Seed have been outstanding!

Mark, Southeast South Dakota

I plant corn for Habitat for Hunting. My ground is really tough due to flooding it each year. I switched to Hefty Corn because of how well it handles tough, dry soil.
